The city has been working on the Windermere Park Neighborhood Park for the past several years.  The park will include a playground and hill slides at the street level, a trail to the upper part of the park, and an observation tower.

The playground will be constructed by St. Croix under the State Contract pricing.  Loeffler will oversee the installation.  They will also coordinate all of the construction on site including the observation tower that has already been awarded to Cre8play.  

The tower should be ready for installation by late August.  St. Croix is working with SRF, the engineer of record, on final playground details. St. Croix is recommending possibly increasing the amount of poured in place in the slide areas to further protect users.

Loeffler will be seeking bids for grading, trail and walkway construction, tree clearing, landscaping and other items necessary to complete this park.  The will also coordinate the playground and tower construction.

Original Estimate

Tower: $500,000

Other Park Improvements $1,000,000
